I assume I have understood your question properly. Let's dig deep with the help of an example:
"He knows that a good time is on the way".
Sentence Structure:
He -> subject of the main clause.
Knows -> main verb of the main clause.
That a good time is on the way -> dependent clause, in which "a good time" -> subject, "is" -> linking verb, "on the way" -> prepositional phrase acting as an object of the verb "is" and modifying "time".
That -> expletive that introduces a sentence: "a good time is on the way."
Now let's go back to your question:
1- The word "that" is introducing a sentence.
2- Yes, this introductory word "that" can be treated as an expletive.
BUT be careful. In the below sentence that word "that" is used as a relative pronoun and can not be treated as an expletive. Rather, it is the subject of the dependent clause.
He knows the men that can kill the Governor.
An object sentence typically refers to a sentence structure where the subject performs an action on the object. For example, "She read a book." In this sentence, "She" is the subject, "read" is the action, and "a book" is the object of the action.
